The basics

MOPA, as it’s known by locals, displays pieces from its permanent collection in the series of rotating temporary exhibits. The galleries are not large, and most of the museum can be seen in under an hour. Many exhibits tend toward the experimental and are aimed at visitors with a keen interest in photography.

The art house Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater screens a variety of documentaries and other independent films. Additionally, a library holds more than 20,000 photography-related items that are available to browse and check out for research purposes.
